7500 in 3rd is 108mph in the 2g…another 10mph in the 1/4 mile would make me happy.

either you have a 10,000 rpm limit or you replaced the 3.55 rear end gears with a 1.55 set.

My old sho with a 7500 rpm limit would get about 100 at the top of 3rd gear.

A mustang GT can get to 130 in 3rd if it doesn’t have exhaust restrictions.

thats what my old man always told me…i just told him to get used to it is what i enjoy

my dad isn’t a total gear head, but he likes his muscle cars & wants a old GTO someday or a new camaro… he used to always debate with me saying his Yukon would pull from my s10 but would never play:rofl:

i cant wait to take him for a ride in the new truck or have him go for a ride in a friends vehicle that is LSX powered cuz i’m sure he’ll be speechless afterwards cuz the fastest car he has driving as his 92 camaro z28 he had or my step moms caddy with the northstar motor in it that he always says is a rocket 🤣 🤣 🤣
